I wonder if there is some global on-demand workforce use case that could be well suited for nostr and zaps 🤔

I don’t know if anyone is familiar, but there’s a service on Amazon called “Mechanical Turk” or mturk. It basically lets you crowdsource work - usually for some repetitive thing that you can just delegate out. 

I am just thinking if there’s some way that market could be brought onto nostr. I think part of the issue with accessing such a global workforce is for workers to have to sign up, provide ID, wait for payouts.. it’s a tedious process. But with notes and zaps it could be fast and effortless. 

I imagine you would need a specialized client that handles work requests and has a way to manage them in a non-spammy way that does not interfere with the rest of the social use case.

This could even carry over into the ML labeling services - human reinforce learning which is all powered by humans. 

Just some thoughts…

This isn’t exactly them same, but I think shared computing power and storage will be unlocked by the combo of lightning payments and both Nostr, but probably more likely things like holepunch that connect directly P2P.

This doubly so with the rise of AI models and the like.
